Jason Bergeron

Chairman of the Board of Directors

Technology Professionals, LLC/TechPro

August 2018

We have gone through our last 7 months informing you on initiatives the committees of the Chamber are working on based on short and long-term goals set by the board. We have given you a peek into the initiatives and tasks created to help complete those initiatives. The drive behind these initiatives is establish and maintain the Chamber as the “cog” in the gears of business, government, and community and ensuring the Chamber can bring people together and have conversations . . .

July 2018

As we start the last six months of my term as Chair (can’t believe it has been 6 months already), I want to express my sincerest appreciation for the hard work and dedication from our board members, committee members, and staff. We have achieved a lot of tasks in our committees so far this year, but we continue to work towards achieving all tasks for each committee. I have been covering all our committees so that our members and community can see what we are doing for both groups . . .

June 2018

Summer is near as we enter the halfway point of my term as Chair. We have achieved a lot of tasks in our committees so far this year, but we continue to work towards achieving all of our tasks for each committee. I have been covering all our committees so that our members and community can see what we are doing for both groups. The last, but certainly not least, committee I will cover is the Community Development . . .

May 2018

As we enter in to May, we are a month away from the beginning of Hurricane Season. This prompts me to cover the committee that deals with infrastructure. The Economic Development & Infrastructure is the committee that looks at projects going on at the state and local level and how they relate to economic development and infrastructure. I would like to thank Mitch Marmande, our Division Chair, and Hank Babin, our Recreation Task Force Chair, for heading up the committee this year. They have made a commitment to assure that our members receive important information to assist businesses and our community . . .

April 2018

April starts off the 2nd quarter of the year with a State Legislative Special Session already completed and our legislature and governor still did not finalize a budget. As of now, the regular nonfiscal session is about two weeks in. After the regular session, which should end June 4th, there will only be a few weeks to call and complete another Special Session related to the state budget. This is just one of the things that our Government Activities committee is keeping an eye on. This month I am featuring our Government Activities Committee in order to give our community and
members a peek into the areas that our committee members, board members, and staff are hard
at work performing . . .

March 2018

We are not far off from finishing the first quarter of the year. The Chamber staff, board, and committees have been passionately working to lay the foundation and start the planning process of the specific measurable tasks for this year.
As I entered my year as chair, I wanted to ensure that our member businesses receive up to a 10-fold return on their membership investment dollars. We can do this by working closely with our committees . . .

February 2018

Entering our 2nd month of the year, the committees and board are poised and ready to continue
our path of achieving our short-term goals mentioned in the last article. We’ve tied our short-term goals to the long-term goals voted on by our board from input from our members. To achieve these goals, we have identified specific measurable tasks that we will work towards accomplishing this year. These tasks by committee are . . .

January 2018

As we enter 2018, I am excited and ready
to lead the Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of
Commerce board and members as your Chair.
I am very passionate about our area and the
Chamber, and feel the responsibility of giving
back to a chamber that has done so much for
my company and myself. Our history includes
being awarded the Small Business of the Year
in 2007 and the Chamber Star award in 2015.
Our company would not be where it is today
without the Chamber. One of the mottos I
live by is “you can’t tell where you are going
until you know where you have been.” Our
company achievements will guide me through
this year as we move to create an even better
Chamber of Commerce for our region . . .
